Pandora Pandora....what a Box you have

This is great.
Suzanne Vega--Tom's Diner.

I remember the night I saw her at THE BACKYARD....
In nineteen...nineteen....1993???

My Beau at the time had connections. He took me out on his Bike and we rode
forever it seemed. He wouldn't tell me where we were going.
I clung to him and wondered, as the Hill Country rolled under us.

We sat second row, center.
This was a gig that was impossible to get tickets for.
She was just practicing for her Austin City Limits gig.

I have LOVED suzanne, since I was 15 years old.
I got her first album when I was a kid in Germany.

Everyone knows Luca.
Do you know anything else?
I have all her albums.

I sat and watched her go through the paces of her new album...
99.9 Degrees F

fahrenheit.
*sigh*

The boy, really didn't know what he had done.

He was the head waiter at Zoot.

I was his novelty.
I said clever things when you wound me up an put me into parties.
I was his sweet slum.

He didn't know who Suzanne Vega was, he certainly didn't know what she
meant to me.

At the end of all the set she needed to practice..................
She walked back out.
Asked for requests.

A guitar in her hand, no band.

I could almost smell her, we were that close.
I stood up, and shouted: Play</b> 'Soldier and the Queen'!!!</b>
............a boy five rows back shouted it at the same time i did.

there are moments, people.
There are Moments.

She smiled at me.
She smiled at me.

And she played my favourite song.
Understand.
She played my favourite song.

I got to hear her voice, say what I had wondered about,
since i was fifteen.

yeah.
i cried.


DAMN, kymical this toy ROCKS!!!
